Lewis Hamilton recently admitted that from a career development perspective, it would be a greater risk to stay with Mercedes, which has not shown any progress for a long time.
That's why, listening to his instincts, he ended up at Scuderia Ferrari...
"Actually, every new opportunity is a leap into the unknown. No one can predict the future, when you change jobs, when you change teams, it always carries a risk. But I believe that the really big risk is getting stuck in a situation that is comfortable, because that just makes you arrogant."
It was on this basis - let's call it instinct or intuition - that I joined Scuderia Ferrari. I wanted a challenge because that's what I need right now. There are amazing people, amazing opportunities, I'm really looking forward to working with them and I believe that together we can achieve something truly special.
Every year is a new beginning for me. Even in the times when I was winning all the time, I knew that it was just a condition and nothing was guaranteed in the future. I have to fight hard every day for success so that I can get into the car every day as a better driver. My intuition and this approach have led me to achieve much more than I ever thought I was capable of.” - Lewis Hamilton reflects on his situation.
